What nutrients does the small intestine absorb?
Food is absorbed across the lining of the small intestine both by osmosis and by active transport. The surface area of the small intestine is increased by the presence of villi, microscopic finger-like projections into the lumen of the intestine. Certain parasites, such as tapeworms, produce chemicals that cause the intestine to "work in reverse" causing the body to pump vital nutrients back into the intestine to feed the worm.

Give an example of how homeostasis is maintained?
An example of homeostasis is regulating blood glucose concentration. The body does this as follows: If there is enough glucose in the blood, the hormone insulin (from the pancreas) stimulates the liver to store the extra (not needed at the time) glucose as glycogen. If the blood sugar gets low, another hormone stimulates the liver to release the glucose back into the blood. If the storage in the liver is full, glucose is converted into fat in special cells around the body.
How does glucose get from the intestine to a calf muscle?
The glucose goes through the intesine wall, into the blood and is carried around until it reaches the calf muscle cells. Once there it will taken in the cells by carrier proteins which are embedded in the cell membrane (this is because it is not lipid soluable and can't not simply go through the cell membrane like water, oxgen, carbon dioxide etc). The glucose will then be used the mitondria in the cell.
